Shimano CUES Crankset FC-U6010-2 Hollowtech II w/ Chain Guard

Shimano CUES FC-U6010-2 - Hollowtech-II crank with two chainrings and chain guard for city, touring and MTB use

The CUES crankset FC-U6010-2, here in the version with a chain guard, was designed by Shimano for 2x11-speed Linkglide drivetrains for sporty city, touring and mountain bike use. The Hollowtech II design ensures highly efficient power transfer and outstanding stiffness with the lowest possible weight. Like the crank arms, the spider and the large chainring are made of lightweight aluminium, which also saves a few grams. The gradation is chosen so that it is possible to pedal harmoniously and smoothly on different types of terrain and also over long distances. The crank produces a chainline of 48.8 mm, which is why frame installation widths of 135 mm and 142 mm are compatible. The Q-factor is 180 mm. Thanks to the chain guard, your pants won't get caught between the chainring and the chain while riding.

Technology:

Hollowtech II
Shimano Hollowtech II is a crank bottom bracket system designed to achieve an ideal ratio of stiffness, weight and rotational efficiency. It is based on an integration of the bottom bracket and the right crank arm and works with a 24 mm axle or bearing diameter, which has proven to be optimal in terms of stability. In many cases, the bearing cups are on the outside so that the load is better distributed. High-quality precision seals ensure a long service life.
